This new talk assesses the implementation of recent initiatives and how the region can better address its need for more affordable housing choices.

It will be of special interest to municipal officials and politicians who, along with architects, planners, home builders and developers, may have the most important role to play in the coming years. Please join us for what should be a very informative and entertaining evening.
